Academic Plans
Academic Plans incorporate University, General Education, and Major requirements and are designed to assist you in short- and long-term planning. Academic plans should be used as a guide; the actual class choices you make throughout your academic career can and will likely change how your individual plan looks. Plans will also vary based on quarterly schedule of class offerings and availability.
Create Personalized Academic Plan
Review plans.ucsd.edu and your degree audit (MyTritonLink), and after successful completion of at least one quarter, meet with your Department/Program and Eighth College Academic Advisors to create a personalized academic plan.
